(Closed) the poem says it all…but how do i use it?

i found this wonderful poem online that completely sums up how we feel about each other. i would love to use it as our vows but to be honest, i don’t think i would be able to get through the words without breaking down. i really want to incorporate this poem somehow into our wedding but i just don’t know how. we have 2 readers, they are my nieces (15 & 12) and i think they are a bit young to read this. i was thinking maybe printing it out on nice paper and framing it at the signing table. any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

here it is:

MY LOVE ~ Linda Lee Elrod ~

When I met you, I had no idea how much my life was about to be changed… but then, how could I have known?

A love like ours happens once in a lifetime. You were a miracle to me, the one who was everything I had ever dreamed of, the one I thought existed only in my imagination.

And when you came into my life, I realized that what I had always thought was happiness couldn’t compare to the joy loving you brought me.

You are a part of everything I think and do and feel, and with you by my side, I believe that anything is possible. this day gives me a chance to thank you for the miracle of you… you are, and always will be, the love of my life.

@mypinkshoes: i think the print out framed on the signing table would be lovely. It could also make for an inexpensive centerpiece, you could also attach it to your favours. Some cheesier ideas – print it on napkins, write it in the card you give him with his wedding gift, or perhaps you can both work together to pre-record it and have it play just before your first dance song music comes on…..

Could you have an older (Read: not-teenage) friend/family member read it during the ceremony? Or maybe you could split the thing in half, and you read the first two stanzas and he the second two? That way just one wouldn’t have to try to do the whole thing?

I think it would also be lovely as a decoration. OH! OR! If you’re going to have a slideshow, maybe record the two of you reading it as a voiceover for the photos?

@sfms: thank you for your suggestions. i thought about splitting up the verses between the two of us but i honestly get emotional just reading it. i don’t know why. it just really sunk in the first time i read it. this is why i was thinking about using it as a decoration somewhere, somehow.

maybe i can have a few glasses of champagne to numb me up a bit and then read it 🙂
